Nigerians only value imported things. Angelique Kidjo won her first Grammy some years ago and her country didn't brag. British acts has been sweeping the award in some years, but you don't see them shut down the Internet.

Now a Nigerian won a less competitive category and the president must congratulate him. Nigerians can overdo. Not saying it's a bad thing, only say we sabi carry things for head.

A Korean movie won best picture at the Oscars last year and Koreans never shut down the Internet or badmouth their other filmmakers

na better Olodo you be

stayclearofme:
I bet you can't comprehend anything.

Chance the rapper won a Grammy and he is independent

GreatResearcher:
I was expecting Nas to be all over the media celebrating this Grammy but he never did. That is to say that Grammy does not defined them or their crafts.

merieam16:
All these days nd years u didnt ask the question buh now that a nigerian won it u are now asking question upadan


Instead of u to congratulate them nd move....bad belle

Op, you for ask sport fans, messi and C Rinaldo if Ballon d'Or is worth the Hype. If Davido can celebrate ordinary sound city award, I wonder why Burna Boy shouldn't celebrate a Global award like Grammy. Do you know what it means to win Grammy awards with the likes of MICHAEL JACKSON and the rest. The Biggest artiste in the world as a Grammy.... op abeg go sit-down.

WoundedLamb:
The same OP will jubilate if his preferred footballer wins Ballon D'or. Grammy is the musicians' Ballon D'or and it's celebrated everywhere. People only ignore it when thier preferred artists don't win anything. If you had watched France24, ICI RDI, etc, you'd have seen how it was celebrated in other places where the winning artists have strongholds. Even in the US, musicians use it to measure success. They only say "Bleep it" when they get nothing or have issues with the organizers. This idea of always saying "but in America..." is sickening. Do you!

Jaqenhghar:
Even the likes of Elvis Presley never won a grammy

GreatResearcher:
He didn't hype it. He didn't even post it on his SM

Why the hype on Grammy Awards?

The way we Africans see and do things always got me puzzled.
We see Grammy Award as god. I'm not in anyway hating those who won. But how me celebrate this Grammy is what I don't understand.

In America. Most American acts don't see Grammy as anything.
I remember one rapper who was given a Grammy Award and he rejected it.

Last year an American rapper pee on a Grammy Award (something most Africans see as god)
Few hours ago another American rapper took to his Twitter to write F88k Grammys.

These people a different way of reasoning I don't know if it's because of their environment because environment can't influence one's reasoning.

Winning Grammy does not make you bigger or better than others.
Not winning Grammy does not mean your crafts are useless.

I know over 10 American rappers who never won a Grammy but you can't talk about Hip Pop and you don't mention their names.

Imagine someone like Nas just won his first Grammy after how many years in the industry? He never made it a big deal.

thebosstrevor1:
Yes, it happens not often.

It is a very rear case.

Do you know he broke records.

When he won, he became the first artist to win a Grammy without selling physical copies of his music—or selling much of his music at all, for that matter.

Burna boy won a Grammy by himself

Monogamy:
People like SIA, Jay Z, Adams Levine don't sing cos they want to win any awards, they are only doing what they know best to do...

Winning the grammy is just like recognizion of their efforts in the music industry

wildikeman:
Grammy is not what it used to be. It's boring now

Many of them never wanted Burna boy to win all because he will make their favourite look ordinary. Imagine what one of Davido fans said below

Guy stop trying to downplay someone's achievements it is a sign of immaturity...even Nas didn't reject his Grammy after too much talk

Jcole didn't reject his even after he fired shots at the Grammy committee...abeg make Una dead this talk


I think the problem is that you people can't just digest the fact that Burna boy won a Grammy by himself

thebosstrevor1:
Grammy is all knowing the right record label to sign to.

If your record label has influence in the music industry the artist will surely will a grammy.

Grammy has nothing to do with good songs

Lot of good artists are independent, they will never win a grammy until they join the click but that also comes with changing your music.

Monogamy:
Is winning Ballon D'or as a footballer not everything?

sammysmiles:
Examples of the independent artists?

The aim of this thread is to know why Africans see winning Grammy as everything

I want to believe that Burna album winning the Grammy has a lot to do with Diddy co-producing that album.

Also Wizkid Grammy win has a lot to do with Beyonce featuring in the song.
